Hi, In relation to this post
https://community.canvaslms.com/message/53737-canvas-terms-of-service-use-acceptance I'm trying to create user accounts via REST API, but cannot convince Canvas to prompt the user to accept TOS when she firstly logs in. I tried all possible combinations of user[terms_of_use], force_validations, and pseudonym[force_self_registration] parameters, but nothing has worked. We have institutionally licensed instance of Canvas (not the free version), as is the case in the mentioned post. Any help would be much appreciated.

BTW, I just had a look on a local Canvas install (VM from bitnami), as opposed to a Canvas hosted one, and it has settings that affect the Acceptable Use Policy, including entering custom terms or no terms, and a setting to "Allow passive acceptance of Terms of Service".

So you probably need to contact Canvas to see what is set for your instance.
